@SA Boy
Why don't you upload the pictures yourself? You can use a free host like ImageShack.

The render is amazing, but why did they have to add Sheikh Eissa tower in there, it just ruins the whole thing. If I had the money, I would buy Sheikh Eissa tower, demolish it and leave the plot empty or sell to a developer with better plans, Sheikh Eissa is just plain ugly! On the other hand, Mercure is even much better than the already beautiful Al Salam and they would make a perfect duo if they werent separated by the ugliest of towers! Just wanna add that this last batch of towers including United, Al Durrah, Mercure, Shangri-La and the two unknowns are enough to make SZR by far the most beautiful skyscraper highway in the world.

Due to the similarity, possibly same Project?
